Yeah she’s pretty but why do they put her in that stupid haircut? I want a poodle but their haircut looks dumb I’ve heard it all before, so today with the p...oodle in the spotlight I wanted to take a minute and explain that ‘goofy looking’ haircut. Like all breed standard trims on all purebred dogs the poodle trim you see here has its roots in history. Believe it or not, before they became the wonderful pets you know today Standard Poodles originated as hunting dogs retrieving birds from water in Germany in the late 16th century. Poodle translates to the German word Pudel which means ‘to splash’. The ancestors of today’s poodles had the same thick, heavy coats that our pets still have and for fear of them sinking in the water because of the weight their owners would shave off all ‘non essential’ hair leaving coat in strategic areas to protect joints and organs. The big floofy jacket on the front half of them? That’s to protect their heart and lungs from the cold. The pompoms on the hips? Those protected the kidneys. The poms on the ankles? They protect the ankle joints. The shaved feet? That exposes the webbed toes making swimming easier. The shaved face? That enables the dogs to see and grab downed birds without obstruction. The Pom on the tail? That acts as a rudder as they swim. The bow used to tie up their hair on top of their head? It serves 2 purposes, one is to keep the hair out of the eyes, the other is for identification from a distance. Different hunters would use different colored scraps of cloth so they knew which dog was there’s from the shore. Through the centuries the cut has definitely become more elaborate and evolved into what you see in the ring today but it like all other breeds signature styles has its reasons in history and they are groomed this way for show to celebrate that rich history. So there you have it!

AN IDIOTS GUIDE TO DOG SPORTS Author: Ruby Welsford of Ruby, Betsy and Milo too Search and rescue -.when you want to be really poor...and muddy!... Rally - dogs and signs and shit Trieball - For collie owners that want to try herding but too poor for sheep Tracking - you walk around over there, and then go get your dog and walk around over there. Weight pull - a. People think you do it to wind up the furmoms online. Little do they all know in all other parts of your dogs life, you are one. b. Looks exciting, actually a bunch of sitting around doing math. Fast cat - people training the long recall. Lure coursing - for people who can't run and don't have time to train a more labour intensive sport just sit back and watch the dog do all the work! Trick dog- a. when you really want to pretend that your show dog actually does stuff other than sit in a kennel and prance around a ring but don't want to actually do anything b. You have an over trained collie type that will throw a strop if any other dog but her, is in the arena as its ALL ABOUT THEM AND EVERYONE SHOULD WORSHIP THEIR DIVANESS, take 3 adults to be carried OUT the ring to STOP showing off their MUCHLY SUPERIOR INTELLECTS but when you put the video online you get people accusing you of treating your spoilt canine that gets treated like royalty like a tormented circus animal... Earthdog - people standing around nodding at each other while somewhere in the distance, a dog is screaming. Hoopers - fat dog Agility that's why the tunnels wider/legs too short to jump Agility - for people with dogs fitter them them Conformation Showing - for billionaires that want to become millionaires Flyball - demand barking as a sport Gundog - dead thing fetch Working Trials - for those that didn't et into police academy IPO - They spell k9 with a numeral Disc - the opposite of what you teach in obedience Obedience- for when you really enjoyed marching drill HTM - people walking with their dogs in fancy lines to music Freestyle - socially acceptable adult dressing up with dogs doing cute tricks Bikejouring - fancy doggo scootering Canicross - marathon runners who realise no dogs allowed Dock diving - essentially a doggy belly flop competition Mondioring- so hardcore you don't even spell things k9 any more Sheepdog trials - people with collies that never played Joseph in the school nativity play Barn hunt- you only enter for the hilarity of watching your great dane squeeze through tunnels meant for jack russells. Scentwork - spaniel owners who watch too much 24 Lure coursing/terrier racing - no I promise the lunging and screaming dog is NOT being abused Parkour - Imagine tony hawk as a dog Once again inspired by Aimee Gardner when asked by a client what rally is responded with the very descriptive answer "it has like signs" To see our very informative guide to canine careers, check this out: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1358263837851838&id=723694491308779&sfnsn=scwspmo Disclaimer: The above is for people that actually have a sense of humour.
